They both submerged for a few seconds and when they emerged, they both did the trick in tandem. I don't know how they communicated the details but they clearly communicated complex information.That is what science would call a "just so" story. although I could easily believe it.
language gives humans silent internal communications ie, controlled, directed, thought. it is that which separates us from other species, it's one hell of a trick. The mystery is how and why after many millions of years it is just now, and just us. There may be a Nobel prize waiting for someone
